Why are NPC parties so bad?

The main problem is, Aphinaud is the worst healer in gaming history! He doesn't heal me at all until I have less than 20% health. And the tank isn't much better.

That's why when Urianger is not available for healing, I would prefer heal that dungeon myself. Alphinauld is a pretty bad healer.

Thancred can only deal one pack a time. Sometimes he can do 2 packs, but forget big pulls. G'raha is a better tank than him, honestly.

About DPSes, I always bring Y'shtola. As BLM she does decent damage. If I'm not DPS'ing, Estinien does good damage as well. Alisaie hits like a wet noodle and wastes Limit Break.

Alisae’s only good feature is she limit breaks all the time. Caster limit break on mobs is always preferable to melee limit break
